Guardian Group has do­nat­ed $200,000 and oth­er items to Hur­ri­cane Beryl re­lief ef­forts in Ja­maica, Grena­da, and Car­ri­a­cou. 

The group part­nered with the NCB Foun­da­tion in Ja­maica and the Liv­ing Wa­ters Com­mu­ni­ty in T&T to as­sist with re­lief ef­forts. 

 Em­ploy­ees al­so pro­vid­ed cas­es of wa­ter, clean­ing sup­plies, ba­by prod­ucts, canned food, pack­aged goods, and hy­giene prod­ucts. 

Ayesha Bou­caud-Clax­ton, group head of mar­ket­ing and com­mu­ni­ca­tion, stat­ed, “The gen­er­ous con­tri­bu­tions of our em­ploy­ees will be cru­cial in bring­ing hope and sta­bil­i­ty to those im­pact­ed by this dev­as­tat­ing sit­u­a­tion. The ac­tions are a tan­gi­ble ex­pres­sion of our com­mit­ment to pro­vid­ing peace of mind to the com­mu­ni­ties we serve,” she added. 

Guardian Group de­liv­ered the do­nat­ed sup­plies to the Liv­ing Wa­ters Com­mu­ni­ty on Ju­ly 26, to co­or­di­nate dis­sem­i­na­tion to the af­fect­ed is­lands. 

Ear­li­er this month, the Gov­ern­ment, in col­lab­o­ra­tion with the pri­vate sec­tor, packed a third ves­sel, the Galleon’s Pas­sage, filled with re­lief sup­plies set for Grena­da. 

Mean­while, the CAF-De­vel­op­ment Bank of Latin Amer­i­ca and the Caribbean do­nat­ed US$800,000 to the coun­tries im­pact­ed by Hur­ri­cane Beryl.  

CAF’s ex­ec­u­tive pres­i­dent, Ser­gio Díaz-Grana­dos, ex­pressed the in­sti­tu­tion’s sol­i­dar­i­ty with those af­fect­ed by the dev­as­tat­ing im­pact of Hur­ri­cane Beryl and an­nounced the im­me­di­ate de­liv­ery of do­na­tions in­tend­ed for hu­man­i­tar­i­an aid and emer­gency as­sis­tance to af­fect­ed com­mu­ni­ties.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
